Former Love Island contestant Shaughna Phillips has opened up about her boyfriend Billy Webb's recent arrest.

Billy, who is expecting his first child with Shaughna in March, was charged with possession with intent to supply Class A drugs and being concerned in the supply of controlled drugs on January 21.

While Shaughna says it's been a "challenging few weeks" without Billy around, she told OK! that her main focus is to "prepare for the birth and try to be as calm as possible".

The reality star continued: "I'm good at just saying: 'Right, the show must go on'. Obviously, Billy's not around, but I don't want to say that I'm doing it on my own, because I'm absolutely not – my family's incredible. It's going to be different, but I don't want to say it's going to be bad."

Following Billy's arrest, a representative for the former Islander told OK! that she was unaware of any alleged criminal activity or offences involving Billy.

"Shaughna had absolutely no knowledge of any activity involving the allegations against Billy," they said in a statement. "Despite being in a long term relationship with the defendant, Shaughna has no links with the address in question, and will be openly assisting the police with their enquiries.

"We kindly ask the public to be mindful of the imminent birth of Shaughna's baby and allow her some privacy during this difficult and stressful time."

Shaughna previously opened up about her relationship with Billy and explained that she kept his identity off her social media because he didn't want to be in the public eye.
